OK, so I spend 1,000 hours bleeding, sweating, and crying for free, to get a job or project that I could have got by being paid for those
1,000 hours? Smart. As for writing a book, if I wanted to be an author, I'd write a book about whatever and get paid for it, as

Book So I Can Pay the Rent
No silly. Its your hobby, you like writting programs. And you do it anyway. But instead of keeping the source to yourself and giving out.exes you decide to share it.
And then all of a sudden you get a job at transmeta.
After that you have the chance to make monay from a book (not a hard one like science fiction or something, just describe the facts you lived). Can you imagine more fun job?
you should read the book......

By sharing your source code does not mean that you deny monay and wish to be poor for the rest of your life.
On the contrary, you can make monay indirectly:

- sponsorts
- advertisments on your site
- a good job you can get with your fame
- a special project you can get with your fame.
- write a book
Which proves that you can make monay from open source.The only reason to blather MS for their security is the backdoors of it. Because as you say no piece of software is 100% secure. Just MS has the addition of backdoors.
